Dave Takes Turn at Butcher Table

By

(CBS)  Dave continues his journey in "The No Way Home" series. He only has a backpack, some camera gear and what started out as $50 to make it across America.

Catch Up with Dave on Twitter

Dave's traveled more than 1,500 miles already from Santa Monica, Calif.

By Wednesday morning, he made it from Highlands Ranch, Colo. to the headquarters of Omaha Steaks in Omaha, Neb.

Dave met up with the Simon family. They've been in the steak business for five generations. And Dave's now learning a lot about cattle. He's being paid $12 an hour to slice steaks at the company.

How irresponsible of you Dave, to tell the American public to order a dish in a restaurant and then send it back before you finish it and say you don't like it to avoid paying for it. Not only is it lying, it is unfair to the establishment that bought the ingredients, prepared it and is paying servers to serve it to you, all because you didn't have enough money to eat out. Your comments on national television in front of millions of viewers is also an abuse of your power, being on television.
Well, you have 1 less viewer of the CBS Early Show thanks to your "suggestions".
